BOC Australia raises the bar with new F3VIPR cylinder range

BOC Australia has unveiled its latest innovation for the welding industry with the launch of the new F3VIPR, a 33 litre high pressure cylinder with in-built variable integrated pressure regulator (VIPR).

The new product is designed to provide welders and manufacturers with an all-in-one cylinder solution.

Kyle Scott, Business Manager Specialised Manufacturing, said BOC’s technical experts are committed to raising the bar in cylinder technology and ‘proud to be delivering unique design features’ that provide enhanced convenience and safety for its customers.

“The F3VIPR range provides busy welders and manufacturers with an all-in-one cylinder solution that improves productivity by eliminating hassles associated with acquiring, fitting and maintaining a separate regulator,” he said. “Usage can also be tracked with a content indicator showing the amount of gas left.”

“With safety as our number one priority, we have enhanced portability by making the F3VIPR shorter than a G or G2 cylinder, with a handle to assist with trundling, allowing for better manoeuvrability around workshops and sites.”

Scott added, “The 300 bar high pressure has also allowed us to increase gas content in most F3VIPR shielding gas traffics compared to existing G size cylinders with up to 13 percent content increase on our 065G ARGOSHIELD® Universal.”

BOC Australia has invested significantly in upgrading its cylinder fleet with more than 550,000 new cylinders introduced over the past five years and has a $15m world-leading cylinder testing facility at its Sydney Operations Centre.

Linde Bangladesh Limited has confirmed it is to invest around Tk 1.2bn ($15.5m) in a new large ASU in Rupganj, Bangladesh, with a capacity of 100 tonnes per day (tpd) of liquefied gases – making it the largest liquid producing ASU in the country.
